Just bought this vehicle, 1 day after owning it abs and no traction control light comes on and there's a rumble in the brake pedal. My husband is a mechanic, so he put new brakes and rotors on and cleaned wheel sensors.

I took the vehicle to the shop to get it checked on 11-21-11. We took the vehicle thinking that a piston was bad, because that was the way it felt, like not getting the right pressure from the piston once the brakes were activated/pressed. Once we got the call back from mechanic, he stated that we needed new rotors due to both being warped. I thought that that will take the problem away but once we got the truck…

On my 2006 chevrolet equinox, the abs and traction control (tc) warning lights on the dash are on, and the brakes intermittently and frequently will not work, especially at slow speeds. They pulse and the car does not slow, until the brakes pedal is pushed to the floor. The garage has replaced the front wheel bearings twice, the abs control module, the struts, and also rotated the tires, and the problem persists.…

As the vehicle is approaching a stop sign or stop light while braking the vehicle will get down to about 5mph or less and then the anti lock brakes will engage. This first started happening in parking lots at low rates of speed and i first thought it was possibly ice on the ground but as it is warming up and the roads are clear the problem is more persistent. The vehicle should be stopping and there is no reason for…

I took the brakes to be changed twice in a year and no results so far. Wife drives the vehicle and now recently has had more problems stopping and being close to crashing. I'm now looking to get rid off this vehicle asap. Took it to dealers they had no idea…

Front brake rotors bad at 50,000. Problem started at 25000 miles on the vehicle. Took to authorized gm dealer and they stated that the warranty does not cover rotors even though this seems to be a common issue on this vehicle. When the brakes are pressed the brakes pulsate and the vehicle pulls to the right. *tr
